Pink Palace on hiatus…

June 3rd, 2008

Filed Under Hawaii Resources, Travel Tips |

The Royal Hawaiian Hotel aka the “pink palace” on Waikiki Beach is closed for 7 months for $110 million renovations.   The 400 employees have either transferred to other hotels or will take time off.  It will be interesting to see the impact 582 less hotel rooms available in Waikiki will have.  Under normal circumstances it may have driven the costs of hotel rooms up but seeing how the economy is tanking right now, people may luck out.  Their website is refering people to Moana Surfrider (Westin), Sheraton Waikiki and Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. 

It is scheduled to reopen January 1 to ring in 2009.
